I assume the driver who decided to try to pass the bike bus by swerving into oncoming traffic,and when that wasn’t feasible, tried to merge into the middle of the bike bus, didn’t notice that we had three bicycle cops with us today. But then again, seeing dozens of children on bikes in the road […]

Pro: Our office building has a locker room with showers connected to the bike room, which is separate from the gym locker room. It’s rarely crowded. Con: Several people have discovered it and have started using it as their private pooping restroom.

lol, you’re telling me a Jason Biggs-starring post-apocalyptic dark comedy is destined to flop? No way!

I’d like to have a chat with whoever it was at MPD who decided they didn’t need to send any bicycle officers to Bike to School Day (at least at the Lincoln Park site).

Rejoice, fellow dudes with pot bellies! It is once again appropriate to wear sweaters to work, and we all know (or have fooled ourselves into thinking) a sweater is much more flattering than a tucked-in dress shirt.

@fakesharrows.bsky.social our biggest challenge is the occasional spill because elementary-aged children aren’t the most, ah, predictable cyclists.

@fakesharrows.bsky.social love it! I’ve been tempted to move our bike bus to daily. Right now we ride every Friday. During the cold weather months we used to do biweekly but there was enough interest to keep it at weekly, so that’s nice.

Yes, NYT, who’s to say what he meant? “Take out” could have so many meanings in this context 🙄

We’re about to start annual performance reviews and the email kicking off the process includes a tip sheet for how to use AI for drafting reviews. 🤮

You are driving your Tesla next to a school. The light is red and you want to turn right. You are in a city where right turns on red aren’t allowed. There is a bike bus coming up the road you are trying to turn on, in your direction. Do you: A) Wait patiently at the light for the bike bus to […]

They’re currently up 4-0. If we win, we get their state spot. First state be damned

So much wrong with all of this, but I keep thinking about how no matter what happens these fucking ghouls and the people who are giving the orders for this shit will very likely never see any negative consequences. thepit.social/@acdha/11491959411555…

“Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.” Later in the footage, the officers move on to general celebration – “Goddamn! Woo! Nice!” – and talk of the potential bonus they’ll be getting: “Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.”” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/25/florida-teen-immigration-arrest

Her staff tried to save seats near the front but all the overhead bins filled up so she ended up going to the back of the plane.

This admin is just one dril tweet after another.
A post from Dan Bongino that says “FYI,
Adam Goldman of the NY Times is getting ready to run another one of their "journalism" exposé pieces about me spending time in our FBI training facility ground fighting with our dedicated and skilled defensive tactics instructors.
Their big news "hook" is that after a solid few
rounds of grappling, I injured my shoulder.
Because it's Adam Goldman, you can generally
assume he's wrong, and he is, again. The instructor I was grappling with got the best of me, because he's incredibly talented. That's why he's there. And it was my not an "injury" but a bit of swelling in my right elbow, not shoulder, because I'm 50 years old
and I can't recover like I used to. But I felt it was
important to get on the mats any way, because
that's what men do.”

For anyone interested, Judge Jackson ordered the government to halt the RIF that was scheduled to happen today, and set a hearing for 4/28 to determine if the RIF violates the current injunction.

There are some who would respond that we should be more supportive of people realizing they were wrong and admitting it, and to these people I would say: it’s David Fucking Brooks.
